Where's Waldo? (1991 TV series)

View source

Where's Waldo? was an animated television series, distributed by DIC Entertainment and Waldo Films. The series aired on CBS as part of the "Kids TV" block for one season and spawned 13 half-hour episodes plus four direct-to-video specials.

Plot[]

The show follows the adventures of Waldo and his dog Woof as they travel to magical lands, solving mysteries and lending a helping hand wherever they could. With the help of his magic walking stick, Waldo could travel through space and time or travel to far off magical lands. Often sent by Wizard Whitebeard to help solve a puzzle, or mysteries, Where's Waldo? was a half-hour puzzle of clues and riddles. The evil Waldo lookalike Odlaw was the show's villain, constantly plotting to steal Waldo's magic stick. In each episode Odlaw would team up with the other villains from the far-off lands to help get the magic stick, while Waldo and Woof teamed up with other land's "good-guys" to help with their problems. Waldo stayed true to the books' premise by means of the "Waldo's Minutes," during which the screen froze for a full minute so the viewer at home could try to find Waldo. This kind of segment aired twice per episode.
